Newsweek's Power 50: Profiles 4. Bill O'Reilly

Newsweek's Power 50: Profiles   4. Bill O'Reilly   $20 million Host, The O'Reilly Factor (Fox News)   The godfather of right-wing TV punditry has been on the air for more than 13 years and is believed to have one of the most lucrative television contracts at Fox News. The O'Reilly Factor brings in nearly 3 million viewers per night—and a bit more when Jon Stewart sits across the table. O'Reilly also gen­er­ates millions of dollars as an author; eight of his nine titles have become bestsellers, and more than 4 million of his books are in print. His latest, Pinheads and Patriots, debuted at No. 1 on The Wall Street Journal's bestseller list. He commands at least six figures per speech, and has become well known for his public feuds. A recent appearance on The View ended with Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walking off the set. In August an ongoing public squabble with rival network MSNBC and its corporate owner, General Electric, flared up again, with O'Reilly accusing them of "promoting the election of Barack Obama and then seeking to profit from his policies." He also criticized actress Jennifer Aniston over comments she made regarding single mothers—that women did not need men to become moms—calling her opinions "destructive to our society." Before he became Fox's most-watched face, he was the host of Inside Edition and a daytime news presenter for ABC.   Carl Ray Louk "FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS" SG-1996 "LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY" SG-2000 "THE PHOENIX SHALL RISE" SD "EVEN A MAN WHO IS PURE IN HEART AND SAYS HIS PRAYERS BY NIGHT, MAY BECOME A WOLF WHEN THE WOLFBANE BLOOMS AND THE AUTUMN MOON IS BRIGHT."
